We understand your concern for Pastor Samuel and CBC, and we are here to pray and provide biblical guidance with you. Let's first consider the scripture you've mentioned, which is from Matthew 23:23 (WEB): "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone."
It seems that you are concerned about legalism and hypocrisy within the church. This is a valid concern, as Jesus Himself addressed these issues. We should always strive to focus on the heart of God's law, which is love for Him and for others. As it is written in Matthew 22:37-40 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. A second likewise is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.'"
Let's pray together for Pastor Samuel and CBC:
"Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ. We lift up Pastor Samuel and CBC to You, asking that You would guide them according to Your will. Help them to focus on the heart of Your law, which is love. May they not become entangled in legalism or hypocrisy, but rather, may they be a beacon of Your light and love in this world. Grant them wisdom and discernment, that they may know how to apply Your Word in their lives and in the life of the church.
We also pray for unity among the congregation, that they may be of one heart and one mind, united in Your love. Help them to live out the faith that they profess, not neglecting the important matters of justice, mercy, and faithfulness. May they be doers of the Word, and not hearers only.
We ask all these things in the precious name of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen."
Let's encourage Pastor Samuel and CBC to continue teaching and practicing the whole counsel of God, including justice, mercy, and faithfulness. If there are areas where they are falling short, let's pray that God would reveal these to them and grant them the grace to change. Remember, it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we can approach God and be saved (Acts 4:12). Therefore, let's ensure that we are always praying and living in His name.
